Connor Hughes: Nabers is Giants top target (outside of QB)

Quote:
The sources I touched base with believe Malik Nabers is the Giants top target if all quarterbacks on gone.

That's exactly who I have #NYG landing in my final mock draft.

Dabs’ favorite per GiantGrit.
Doug Rush weighs in on Twitter/X as well:  
Vin_Cuccs : 4/22/2024 8:10 am : link
Nabers, multiple sources told SNY, is a player the Giants covet. Most around the league expect him to be New York's pick if they can't get a quarterback (more and more unlikely by the day).

They can try to grab someone like Michael Penix Jr. (Washington) or Bo Nix (Oregon) in the second round.

This aligns to what Gedeep said as well. Nabers or McCarthy.

That said, I will always prefer a QB in this situation….most important position in all of sports.
If you can keep your draft picks and land Nabers

I was just watching the final mock draft live on NFL Net  
Chris684 : 4/22/2024 8:13 am : link
And the best scenario for NYG (in my opinion) played out 1-5.

That was:

Williams
Maye
Daniels
Harrison
Alt

Which leaves NYG with a choice between McCarthy, Nabers and Odunze. They went with Nabers over JJM. Gun to my head I’d go McCarthy myself but that’s probably the best and most realistic way this shakes out.

Capt. Don : 4/22/2024 8:16 am : link
having someone with this kind of juice on our roster would be exciting.

I am really hoping for a big jump from Jalin Hyatt along with continued returns from Wandale. Its really too bad that Waller has been such a disappointment from his HoF pre-season. It could be a dangerous group.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

I wonder if Harrison and Nabers were both on the board at #6 if Nabers would still be the pick.
Imagine if this was the year we had 5 and 7

This is my nightmare scenario - that NYG pass on Odunze and trade down. They would be sitting on gold as in this scenario, there would be still be Maye/JJM left as well as all of the OTs before the run on OTs.
Love It  
BigTymer : 4/22/2024 8:32 am : link
Nabers has been my guy all along as I'd rather us fortify WR/OL before we consider next steps with QB (albeit I do like JJM). Eric's posts/podcast around OL has me intrigued (via trade down) but reality is we don't have weapons on offense and jury is out whether we even have a #2 WR let alone a #1. Nabers creates separation which clearly is important to not only this regime but the NFL today in general. Plus, explosiveness of Nabers opens up the underneath to Robinson and the deep-shot to Hyatt as defenses will need to focus on Nabers.

After years of ineptitude, we need to set the table for a new QB to be successful even if that QB doesn't come until 2025+. As a Giants fan, I'm not going anywhere and so don't chase a "quick fix".
For reference, I think Chase was Sy's highest rated WR over the last

He was graded at an 89.

I’m really really curious what our QB grades are. Even more curious who their favorite is outside of the top 6. Pratt and Travis are the most intriguing for me.

You can say FORCE all you want- NO WR has ever led their team to anything without a QB. Don't give me Larry Fitzgerald- he accumulated stats for most years that didn't lead to wins or titles and his SB appearance was with Kurt Warner (a SB winning QB and now HOF'er).

Of course but this assumes we don’t take a QB at all, no? I’m as locked into the QB upgrade as anymore but you kinda need to be open minded about getting a QB outside of the top 10. Other teams do it, why not us?

Now I’ll be pissed if we don’t come away with a QB at all but that’s for the post draft discussions.

As the Giants pick for the last month and half. No surprise at all.
I've only seen QB and WR  
fkap : 4/22/2024 8:48 am : link
as Giants' top of the considerations. When you eliminate QB, that only leaves WR. if MHJ is gone, that leaves Nabors or Odunze. Rumors all say Nabors.

The only real takeaway is that WR is a wonderful consolation prize. I think it is a given that the top objective is QB.
The only question is whether QB 4 is available and/or whether he is good enough to consider. If it boils down to moderate QB or great WR prospect, I'd choose QB. The cupboard is too bare to punt on QB. Once QB is eliminated, WR is a no brainer unless there's a massive haul to be had in trading down.

+1

What I don't want to see is the Giants having to force the QB pick in 2025. At some point you need to at least try to address the most important position on the field.
Let me ask a question  
HardTruth : 4/22/2024 8:50 am : link
If the 3 QBs go 1-2-3 and the Giants are the ones who draft McCarthy

Who are the Vikings taking at 11?

And why shouldn’t the Giants have the same answer to that question if they dont land one of these 4 QBs?

Chi - Williams
Wsh- Daniels
NE - Maye
Ari - Harrison
LAC - Nabers

I think a lot of people are assuming trades and fireworks. Idk. You're asking Ossenfort to move off Harrison, that'll take a lot. I know Harbaugh likes to build through the trenches, but Herbert-Nabers for the next 5 years? That's a big start to the Harbaugh era.

Do the Vikings really want to trade 23 & next years first in addition to 11 when they can stand pat and take Penix or Nix?

All due respect, but these kind of takes are exhausting and lack intelligence. Desmond Ridder and Marcus Mariota are not DJ. It’s not even close. If the QB they want is gone, Nabers is a great pick.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/22/2024 8:54 am : link
Yup. The draft may actually go like that with the Giants having McCarthy and Odunze on the board. If you believe GoDeep, the Giants may even trade down in such a scenario.

That’s certainly a possibility but I find it hard to believe the Vikings will just sit at 11 and wait for whatever is left at QB. That’s not generally how it works when you’re targeting a QB.
I see the draft unfolding one of two ways  
M.S. : 4/22/2024 9:03 am : link

With a trade and without.

Trade
1. Chicago - Caleb Williams
2. Washington - Jayden Daniels
3. Minnesota (from N.E) - J.J. McCarthy
4. Arizona - Marvin Harrison, Jr.
5. L.A. Chargers - Malik Nabers
6. N.Y. Giants - Drake Maye

without Trade
1. Same
2. Same
3. New England - Drake Maye
4. Same
5. Same
6. N.Y. Giants - J.J. McCarthy

Opinion?! Marcus Mariota and Ridder are career backups. Don’t take my word for it. Ridder was traded this off-season for a box of donuts and Mariota is on his 5th team. Those are the facts.

Maybe, but if you get a stud WR you have checked off a major need. If you keep your other draft picks you have the potential to move up to get another QB.

BTW, I want Maye or McCarthy, but if it is Nabers I will still be Giants fan for the rest of my life and it will be ok.

Your comment is idiotic and insulting! How many TD passes did Jones have in 16 games played in 2022? He had 15 TD passes. How many TD passes did Mariotta have in 2022 in 13 games played in 2022? You guessed it, 15 TD Passes.. How about 2021 (Pitts's rookie year).. Daniel Jones had 10 TD passes in 11 games played (he has habit of 1 TD pass less than games played) while the Falcons, with Matt Ryan had 20 TD passes...

So please, explain to me again how Jones is so much better at QB..
